Minnetonka partner takes mocs to Haiti!

Minnetonka works with a variety of great partners to run our business. One we are very excited to share with you is Print 4 Change, a company that invests 50% of their profits directly to initiatives and programs that empower people living in extreme poverty. Minnetonka works with them to produce the majority of our printed materials and retail displays – and we love knowing that every project is benefiting people around the world!

We were thrilled to be a part of Print 4 Change’s September mission trip by providing mocs to the people of Titanyen, Haiti. Check out some of the smiling faces and happy toes from this trip. Thanks to Print 4 Change for including us in your great work!
